[10.04.14] - Government Toys With Furry Handcuffs — A New Kind of Desperate by Jocelynn Smith Government Toys With Furry Handcuffs — A New Kind of Desperate By Jocelynn Smith, Managing Editor Dear Sovereign Investor, We all know the government is desperate, but who knew it was this desperate? Now it has resorted to selling sex toys. From bundles of lingerie and fuzzy wrist cuffs to erotic DVDs, love swings and "cyberskin" foot strokers — they've got it all. A recent story out of Kansas reveals that the state's Department of Revenue confiscated assets from a five-business raid after the owner failed to pay almost $164,000 in taxes. Of course, this isn't a new tactic by the government and neither is holding an auction to sell your items at rock-bottom prices just to scrape together a few nickels. However, this has got to be the first time the Kansas Department of Revenue has attempted to recoup a fiscal debt by auctioning off thousands of sex toys and other adult entertainment accoutrements. Apparently nothing is beyond the reach of the government's greedy hands — not even the latest model of "good girl, bad girl" furry handcuffs. If the state of Kansas won't stop at selling off stacks of vibrators or sparkling sequin lounge pants to help dig itself out its deficit hole, the federal government certainly isn't going to have a problem grabbing cash out of your bank account. A massive wealth confiscation is coming to America. We've seen it happen in Cyprus and far too many politicians are giving serious consideration to the International Monetary Fund's suggestion of a necessary wealth tax to bring debt back to manageable levels. Don't wait for the government to steal your hard-earned assets. Have a plan in place to protect yourself. Regards, Jocelynn Smith Managing Editor, Sovereign Investor Daily P.S.

Before you reject the notion outright, ask yourself this simple question — can the U.S. government benefit by terrorizing its citizens with a fabricated enemy? And are you more willing to relinquish and abandon your freedoms if you think it's for your safety? Wherever ISIS came from — our own C.I.A., the depths of the Islamic World, or both — be wary of how our government uses this new enemy to promote its own nefarious aims. Click here to read more.

The $54 Trillion Skeleton in Obama's Closet  Nine months ago, this ex-Wall Street Journal veteran spotted an unusual pattern in a regularly published, though patently ignored government document.

Right now, everybody's reporting on the waning strength of China's economy — but what those desk jockeys are missing is the pure and simple fact that China is destined toward long-term, exponential growth.
